Ha, I have that issue! For me it was during the All Star Squadron run that I learned about the JSA, that's what got me into comics... I was such a kid, I was like "look at all these superfriends that aren't on the TV show!" And every Saturday I waited for more to show up:)

As for the question, since we are starting fresh, the one Earth 2 / 40's era hero I knew well who was not recreated in the late 50's is Dr. Fate.

Dr. Fate was also a JLI member in its early days.

As for Hawkman - we'll get this guy, not because he was a JSA member, but because in a twist of wierdness that is really quite unexplainable, the current Hawkman is in fact the Earth 2 version. As long as you are not picky about the headpiece he wears.

Dr. Fate - first golden age hero I ever was familiar with from his team up with Hourman in their fight with Solomon Grundy in Brave & Bold (back before most of you were born...)

I think you mean Showcase.

Starman and Black Canary were in the Brave and the Bold:

Mike(It was rumored that Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson were going to produce a Sandman/Dr. Mid-Night team-up, too, but for some reason it never happened.)

You're right. It was Showcase...

See what happens when you get old and your mind starts going...

I remember being so in hopes that this 2-issue story would lead to a Earth-II comic from DC, but alas, nothing for several decades except for the annual JLA/JSA team up (and some of those are best left forgotten)...

On the bright side it'll be an easy custom... (provided I can find 2 Hawkman figures, I still haven't found the first one...) *Note: my friend found one, and it has one leg about an inch shorter than the other, usually you can balance the figures out with a penny... This one you need 15 cents worth. LOL
